Opto-mechanical tests of collapse models
arXiv:1906.11041 · doi:10.1007/978-3-030-46777-7_16
Abstract
The gap between the predictions of collapse models and those of standard quantum mechanics widens with the complexity of the involved systems. Addressing the way such gap scales with the mass or size of the system being investigated paves the way to testing the validity of the collapse theory and identify the values of the parameters that characterize it. Here, we review the recently proposed non-interferometric approach to the testing of collapse models, focusing on the opto-mechanical platform.
